The Wheatsheaf in Huntingdonshire

Gteat pub and excellent service. Visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. We had meat pie and veg and fish and chips which were cooked perfectly and served promptly with a smile. We had our dog with us and I have to say he was fussed over, given a blanket and toy to play with and lots of treats. The bar lady was very kind and friendly, moving tables together for our benefit. Would definitely recommend this venue.

Small things need to change. Overall our experience was good but three things stuck out - the first concerns the nacho sharing platter - never been served neon green guacamole that looked like mushy peas (without the peas)! The coleslaw was thin and watery, IMO cheap and tasteless. Finally the chips were warm (not hot). However, let’s talk about the good: staff were friendly and pleasant. Whilst is lacked atmosphere this was more due to the limited number of people in the pub. Food, overall, was good

Changed management and dropped off a cliff. Small portions, slow service, a lot of food unavailable. The waitress was very good though

Very pleasant surroundings on a wet and windy day at Grafham. Very nice meal mid afternoon and well looked after by Grace and Malachai. Will definitely come back. 😊

We had a lovely meal here on steak night. Waitress ( Eden) was very attentive and very patient as we delayed sitting down to eat by half an hour as we were enjoying a drink with family in the bar. I had the chicken pie which was delicious and my husband had the fillet steak. Very good value

Convenient place to eat when visiting Grafham Water. Serve lunch until 4pm, then their main menu.

Lovely place to eat and the staff were really helpful

Appalling service, advised there would be a 20/30 minutes delay due to large party who arrived 1/2 hour before. Waited an hour! Chips Luke warm, scant portion of peas. Reaction from waiter nonplused when complaint made without offer to replenish. plates not cleared very soon and left waiting for dessert menu. Waitress rude when asked to speak, sighed and rolled her eyes! Never going there again, meal took 2 hours and one couple gave up waiting and left

A big thank you to Henry our waiter, the service was brilliant. Also another big thank you to Chris the Chef food was excellent and very well presented. Thank you all so much for a wonderful evening my daughter and I had a great time, and looking forward to seeing you all again very soon. I would highly recommend the Wheatsheaf 🙏

Maria was our waitress yesterday lunchtime,she was very friendly and efficient.

Really good chicken pie with fresh veg on a nasty wet day. Staff welcoming and helpful, and wood stove burning cheerfully.

Lisa and grase brilliant service go out there way to help definitely recommend 👍

We visited some friends in West Perry and stopped for lunch at this charming local pub last Sunday. The atmosphere was cozy with a welcoming log fire, and it was dog-friendly too, which was a nice touch. The service was warm and friendly, and we all ordered burgers, which were absolutely delicious. They also had a great selection of wines by the glass at very reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning on our next visit!

Friendly local pub, with good food )sea bass and special meals were lovely. Eden and Sophia were very polite and professional. A lovely village pub 👍

I had a delicious takeaway half rack of ribs meal made by Malakai. Will definitely be returning again.

Lovely lunch thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Service by Eden & Laurel was very good.

Fantastic steak night on Thursdays. Very friendly staff

Lovely late lunch with former colleagues. Set lunch meal excellent value. Nice quiet afternoon. Open on Monday s which has become unusual. Maria was excellent.

Fantastic Sunday! The food was great, nice and friendly staff, magic ambience!! We will came back!!

Lovely food served very quickly with pleasant staff ! Recommended !

We were told that if we were ordering food it would take 30 minutes as they were behind with orders. I said OK and ordered our food, fish and chips and scampi and chips. When the food eventually arrived my friends battered fish was more batter than fish. The batter was overcooked hard and thick. The quality of the fish was poor. Not sure what was in my scampi, grey and processed. Again overcooked and hard. I would imagine cheap packaged scampi. Iceland maybe? All in all not a good eating experience at all. Not sure how they can mess up battered fish and scampi but they did. I had some salad on my plate old and limp.

Friendly and cosy,just had a couple of pints!

Lovely meal steak was cooked perfectly and the service by David was exceptional

David was very accommodating!, i enjoyed every part of the meal and i feel it was reasonably priced. Thank you

Lovely country pub, food was amazing! steak cooked perfectly and good value for money on the Thursday steak night, David was excellent very accommodating and nothing was to much trouble. Lots of diners in, but staff were very good at communicating with wait times and made sure everyone was happy.

Was recommended The wheatsheaf but was less than impressed unfortunately , food was over cooked . Cauliflower cheese was mainly the centre stalk , the waitresses done a great job but overall we won't be returning .

We have visited several times previously thought we would try the Sunday roast. Never again...2 slices of fatty lamb. Vegetables were shrivelled, roast potatoes obviously kept warm. Apple pie heated in microwave pastry soggy top and bottom. And we were called Guys. Table booked for 12.15 so no excuse for all the above. On the positive side vert nice cauliflower cheese

Goodness 'Grace'(cious)... me. Fantastic service and the best drinks. Might have been off the menu... but fantastic.

Came here for lunch with some friends food was lovely and nice pub our server Lorraine she was lovely will be back thank you for making our lunch special

The service here was good and the food was really good. The fish and chips were very nice and the chicken, bacon and leek pie was particularly good also mmm side the lovely creamy mash and top quality gravy. The pub itself was also cosy and clean, the only thing that was annoying was that there were lots of flies.

Do a nice pint of greenking IPA

We had a lovely lunch here on the bank holiday Monday. The pub was very accommodating, Food was lovely and the service was excellent.

Driving back after a long journey from the Lake District my wife and I decided to eat in the restaurant part of this pub rather than having to cook ourselves when we arrived home. We arrived 18:30, chose a table, bought drinks and ordered the HALF RACK BBQ RIBS Tender & succulent half rack of slow-cooked pork ribs, generously coated in our signature barbecue sauce. Served with coleslaw & seasoned fries and SEA BASS FILLETS With baby potatoes, onions, bacon, peas & parsley sauce our order was taken quickly. 45 minutes later after seeing other table who had come in after us receive their food we asked if we had been forgotten. after a brief trip to the kitchen we were told that we were next up. for the next 10 minutes we watched other tables get their food. We now complained. 3 minutes later the food came. Mine was just a rack of ribs and fries, no coleslaw and no barbecue sauce. It was only just warm enough to eat. I asked for the coleslaw which was promptly delivered There were not discernible peas, onions or taste of parsley in the sauce. It had the feel of food that had been left on the side for a long time. An hour's wait to get food that was not as it was described on the menu. We both just wanted to leave. It has been a very long time since I had a restaurant experience as disappointing as this one was. We had clearly been forgotten and a rush job had been done to get food out that the chef should never have allowed out the kitchen. The correct thing to do when a customer has been forgotten is to own up to it and be honest about it giving us the opportunity to make other arrangements

Nice village pub, dropped in for Sunday lunch, ordered Roast pork, but when it arrived at the table it was not roast pork, it was two slices of pork cooked on a gridle, tough as old boots. and the parsnip was woody / past its best by some way, generally disappointed We should have complained!!

Rubbish, Had to turn the music up drown out the angry chef. Won’t be returning

Called in for dinner. A wide range of traditional dishes available. The pricing is lower than a lot of the pubs in the area. Edit Aug 24: went for second visit. Food not as good. My scampi was overcooked and dry, friends burger lacked pulled pork and chips were lacklustre.

Probably much better than this first experience. Only stopped for a drink as they couldn't serve food outside as the kitchen was 'backed up'. One of the two drinks was incorrect, and no bar service, they were bought to the table. That said inside looked very nice and was pretty busy. Food menu looked very good and reasonably priced Mon-Fri between 12 and 5pm 2-courses @ £14.95, 3 courses @ £17.95. Open and airy inside, and a good size garden.

Many times have I run around the 15km of Grafham Water at 06.30 passing this beautiful looking pub thinking..."one day I should come for lunch". Today was that day...oh what a shame. 3 times we had to ask for a simple jug of water, but that was only the beginning. We were a table of 4, 2 ordered the lamb...1 the pork and 1 the chicken. The lamb was literally inedible, chewy and cold and fatty. The pork not much better and the chicken, well that's pretty hard to get wrong. The veg looked awful and the gravy like water with lumps. There was something that I can only assume was a Yorkshire Pudding, but not risen and almost raw batter. Anyway, at the end we pointed this out and the 2 roast lambs were removed from the bill. I understand places can have a bad day but wow, close to the worst food I have been presented in a restaurant. Surprising as the reviews are so good and such a lovely place.

Went with the husband and puppy a few weeks ago. The staff were very friendly and even though they were clearly short-staffed, everything was clean and organised. The food was tasty and good value for money. There's some work needed but I heard they got a new manager so he'll probably sort out those small issues. Looking forward to come back!

Nice little rest stop if out and about on the bike.

Oh my word how bad as you walk in the ladies toilet door open and toilet paper everywhere!!! Well as for the pie it was not even big enough for a kid and everything else just thrown on the plate nothing like it used to be !!! Very sad

We have been to The Wheatsheaf on many occasions, and was looking forward to todays visit, but was really disappointed. It looks like it’s under new management, and the menu has been amended, which one can expect. We placed our order, myself, a classic prawn cocktail as a starter, and the mains was one cottage pie and two scampi and chips. The prawn cocktail was a lettuce leaf, with the remainder of the dish filled up with prawns and sauce, nothing else, plus three very small thinly sliced pieces of bread, no butter. Very disappointing. The cottage pie was ok, but no gravy on the side, and my wife requested no peas, but they were served up anyway in a small dish. The scampi and chips were also disappointing with the chips undercooked and the scampi looking overcooked and oily with very little filling. I was given to understand that they had been let down on one their food delivery, but that should not reflect on the food that was ordered on the day.

A very disappointing experience in terms of the quality of the food and the service. Having been a frequent visitor over recent years, the change of management had seed a decline in standards and our group all expressed the same view in that they won’t be returning for a meal.

A beautiful pub!! The food was gorgeous, I had their caesar salad which was simple divine! We descended as a group of 5 with no notice. They did seem reasonably busy at the time, but the food cane in good time and every dish was perfect. The ladies serving us were incredibly helpful and very lovely! The only downside was the flies, very blushy and annoying!

Good food and great service, will definitely go again. The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough to make our visit memorable

This is our local pub/restaurant, it’s been through a few trying months since being taken over. I’ve given an average score as there is still a way to go to get back up to the top rating. The new young staff are extremely good, polite welcoming so that’s a definite plus. The food still needs tweaking, tiny portions of some vegetables and I’m not sure the Gravy would fulfill the trades description act. Not up to standard yet, a work in progress but I hope they take on board the comments made as I believe they will make a great success of what was a very successful business, and I’m sure will be again. .

We prebooked this for lunch and a walk at Grafham water before an afternoon meeting in a Huntingdon village. It turned out really well, and the service was good, too

This has changed hands. There is not enough staff to serve food, drinks etc. They now give you a jug of water when you sit down. If you have This offering it's a known fact that it fills your tummy. They use this to serve smaller portions. I had fish and chips. The fish was not freshly battered on site like the previous owners did. It looked like it came straight from the freezer and deep fried. The chips were an improvement, crisper and not cotton wool inside. The mushy peas was a tiny amount served in a tiny dished, pointless and cold. Other people had a sandwich and the bread looked like it came from a standard loaf from a supermarket. It used to be bloomer or farmhouse. It took 45 minutes to get our food, but that was lack off staff. Overall ok just quicker service and a few changes of the food.

Went on steak Thursday. Steak was cooked perfectly but small portion of chips and salad consisted of a small pile of wilted lettuce. Very disappointing. Pudding apple pie and ice cream . Again for the price ice cream fitted on a dessert spoon. Condiments had to be asked for alongside the steak knives. Lovely pub for a drink but definitely won’t be eating here again

Fab pub, we stopped for a quick drink on a hot day. Service was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Fab garden and outside seating area. We didnt eat on this occasion but the food looked and smelt delicious

Would give less if I could. New kitchen staff are "overwhelmed" in a not very busy pub that is supposed to offer food until 9.30pm according to their signage yet refuse orders at 6 50pm - I think they need to retrain their staff if they are overwhelmed so easily!! Won't return sadly, used to be good with previous management

Very high quality food. More useful information at YouTube craighutchison1970 fantastic food and very good price

Interesting lunch. Good food, lovely waiting staff - too few of them, but they coped well.

Lovely meal lovely staff be back again soon.

Just went in for a coffee and pudding as it was my husband's birthday. As a surprise they gave us free drinks, sweets and lovely staff. Very friendly

Food took a while to come, around 35-40 minutes. I ordered a cold plate and BBQ wings for context. The portion size on the sharing item wasn't quite as much as I thought it would be but it did taste good. I didn't have a good experience with a particular member of staff serving tables. From what I heard they were also rude to a person on my table. Other members of staff were nice. Thank you. That helped redeem my experience.

The atmosphere was good and the service was also good. The pie and fish & chips were delicious.

Was there for a function and had a great time there

Great food lunchtime visit midweek very busy

Just moved to the village so wanted to try the food and we weren't disappointed. The staff were very friendly and the food was served promptly and on lovely hot plates which makes a difference to keep the food warm. I had the sea bream which was really tasty and my partner had the pie of the day which he said was great. It's just been painted and tidied up outside and looks really tidy. I'll definitely be visiting again.

Having been here on numerous occasions. We had a meal last night 29.06.24 . Sadly under new management and food,, cleanliness has gone down hill. Food not very tasty, deserts still frozen when served. Toilets very dirty, out side tables in need of repair, sat on a picnic table, which was very wobbly and lost my whole drink to my trousers. Overall, probably not going back.

Lovely pub in a small rural village. Had the best homemade steak pie! Well worth the visit.

Still a friendly, local pub. Very good Sunday roasts available through till the evening. Dog friendly.

After a long walk we decided to get something to eat in The Wheatsheaf. It was about 1pm on a Saturday so was only just starting to get busy. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The beer was good and the meal we had was excellent. We both had the Calf Liver and Bacon - it isn’t on the list below. Highly recommended and we will visit again.

Great food in lovely surroundings. Fish and chips were great and the service was quick.

Had a pint of a Taylors there yesterday and had an upset stomach today. Service mediocre.

Not a patch on what it was with the previous owners. Food is ok but expensive for what it is with desserts that are clearly bought in rather than made. Such a shame as it’s a great location and a really nice pub. Hopefully it’s just a case of bedding in with the new owners, we’ll give it one more go just to see if we’ve been unlucky. Similar feedback from friends who have also recently been.

really good roast and super friendly staff!

A beautiful place in a stunning countryside location, enjoyed the roast beef dinner with fresh veg cooked to perfection , wife had a sea bream which was perfect , a real pleasure on an experience all served up from very friendly staff, big bonus was a beer festival on the day I visited, well worth a visit . Six stars if available 👍

Our waitress was lovely nothing was too much trouble. There were gluten free options which were great. I believe it has recently changed hands and it's much more welcoming now. In a lovely setting.

Recently completed the Grafham Water Circular and stopped here half way. Lovely pub with really good customer service. Perfect place to stop for a cold one mid hike!

Cannot fault this place... Stopped by from out of town as we were visiting family after a recent bereavement. The staff there were so wonderful and caring. Food was reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Was a busy Sunday crowd but service was still very efficient. Glad I don't live closer because this place could very easily become a habit!

Stopped here after completing a cycle ride around Grafham Water.. for a well deserved drink. Even though it was busy, the staff were very pleasant and quick to serve and clear tables. We've stopped off here before and would do so again.

Popped in Lunchtime for a Work meal, polite staff, quick service and nice atmos.

First time visit. Very clean and well presented. Service cannot be faulted. All staff very friendly and welcoming. Lots of choice for food, i chose salmon which was very tasty. Reasonable price. Will go again soon

I choose the fresh Tuna unfortunately very over cooked and dry. Salad boring new potatoes where not freshly cooked. So all disappointing. I'm a private chef and will not be returning.

What a shame. This place was one of the highlights coming to the area. Not been for a good few months or more. And what a shock to find been taken over, sadly will not be coming back food was not great. A very long wait and just atmoshere was terrible and abrupt. What a shame

Went on the 27th April, normally eat there twice a month my opinion gone down hill with food from last year.last year was great and good value for your money, Now smaller portions, meat, cold prices. gone up time to find another pub, I think.

Visited for a pint at lunchtime and came back in the evening for some food, all staff were lovely, food was delicious with a wide selection and cooked to perfection , good cask ales too ! Couldn't fault it, I would highly recommend!

Place seems a little run down and tatty in places, pizza was cold and not fresh when ordered and sandwiches were made with processed cheese and ham. OK, but not fantastic. Manager very good at dealing with issues though.

Had a great gathering for around 30 family and friends the day after my daughters wedding. Food was fantastic as was the service. We will definitely be back !

Nice pub. Friendly service. We had a 2 course lunch menu, which was good value and decent. Will be back for sure

Things have changed at Perry's Wheatsheaf, and not for the better. The staff were all still pretty much on point, but the food wasn't the quality we've come to love. Two dishes served our party; Ribs and Calves liver and bacon, were as enjoyable as before, just different. A Caesar salad that could have come right out of a supermarket kit, complete with dry chicken and not enough dressing, and a laughably thin, overcooked Ribeye steak at £21. The Wheatsheaf is dog-friendly now, apparently. Make of that what you will, but it will cause us to avoid. I'm sorry. We've loved this place, and we'll watch the reviews. But for now it's so long.

Been in twice since changed hands and not overly impressed. Ist time was getting us to drink up and leave after buying a round of drinks at 10.00 pm on a Friday night! Second time asked to move in corner of pub as all tables booked for an event! Was all quite rude really and locals decided to move on to another establishment. Used to be so welcoming!

Used to frequently eat here once a fortnight, it was very good. Recently it changed hands, after one visit we now go eat elsewhere. The chips were undercooked, fish was half the size it usually was, got rudely told that Fish and Chips do not come with Garden Peas only Mushy Peas, even though they did Garden Peas with Scampi. Same price as before despite the drop in quality, the atmosphere is still decent but even that was better beforehand.

New Owners, New Menu, New Drink Choice, New Entertainment Evenings, New Garden Furniture, Looking Good Guys.

My husband and I went with some friends for lunch today and we had a lovely meal, got a very nice welcome and the service was great. Prices are very reasonable as well. Maria and Amy who served us were very pleasant and accommodating. Will def visit again very soon.

Nice staff, very good music, lovely atmosphere and a delicious signature burger.

Used to love the food, but our recent visit was as if we were at a completely different pub. Dogs all off leads, less than welcoming greeting, glasses stacked up on the bar. But the real issue was that the food was just really poor, frozen chips, scampi and pie, we suspected and a funny tasting tomato topping on the pizza. Really hope the new owners take notice of the feedback that we and others have recently shared. Unfortunately we will not be back as Weatherspoons is better value and with the same quality.

We had the best night last Saturday at the Michael Buble tribute act night .. could not fault anything . The food was excellent and the whole night was such good value .. we will definitely be back .

A lovely pub and the food was nice but the service really let the day down. I think you may have bitten off more than you could chew with the amount of bookings on mother’s day. We had preordered our food so we thought that’s good no messing around when we get there…our waiter came over and asked us what we would like to order which is a bit odd as we had preordered so technically we had to just order our food when we got there (not sure why there was a preorder?) After a bit of a wait our orders came out but were incorrect so we had to wait yet again whilst tables that ordered well after us got their food first. It would have been nice to have been offered something to keep us going and sweeten the deal. Sadly our desert then also took such a long time to come out I had to ask (twice) for it to be boxed up to take home. I get mistakes happen and it was a busy day but the small things sometimes go a long way.

Such a shame went for a joint celebration of mother's day for me and my daughter in law also my birthday which was the same day should have been a lovely family time together unfortunately after a promising starters which was very nice our main course arrived minus my grandsons dinner which had been forgotten to cook anybody with small children know how important it is to keep the children feed and happy which in turn makes parents and grandparents happy this definitely was not done when his food was bought out it was to hot for my 4year old grandson to eat so after this we left as the baby was also fed up of being in the highchair so long. We went to the counter to pay was asked if everything was OK but when we told the manager about the problem we were told he would tell the boss I just said he was the boss he told me I wish, unfortunately we live in the village have been up to the pub lots of times never before have we had a problem and left feeling very undervalued as a customer such a shame.

We booked to come for Mother’s Day. When we arrived, the initial service was prompt, with food and drink orders taken quickly. We were asked if we wanted 2 or 3 courses, with options to be chosen straight away as the computer system worked that way, no bother. Choices made, our starters arrived reasonably quickly. After that the service went down hill. It took 45 minutes for our table to be cleared and another 15 minutes, with some prompting, to get our mains. For some reason our 9 year old had been given an adult portion. The food was ok, good portions, though the beef was over cooked, making it quite tough and sliced very thickly. Again, it took 40 minutes to get any acknowledgement that we had finished. I asked for our deserts, to which I was presented the bill. I explained we had ordered deserts, after which we were told one wasn’t available. It still took another 15 minutes for them to arrive. Very clearly the pub was had over booked and was still taking walk ins when they couldn’t look after the large amount of customers they already had. There was zero organisation in terms of service and serving in order. A lot of people were served before us, despite arriving a long time afterwards. It took 3 hours for us to eat, which for 2 adults, 1 child and a baby is ridiculously slow. I work in the area and often discuss places to eat and this will be mentioned. We didn’t feel valued as customers. Simple mantra, under promise, over deliver, you will have happy customers. We won’t be returning.

Went with family for Mother’s Day and we had excellent food and excellent service. They catered for us all lovely, even my two year old granddaughter

We definitely ended up in the worst seats in the house. Don’t stick people round the corner in the bar with no visibility when they’ve paid to see an act. Atmosphere poor!

We booked for 3pm but on arrival was told our booking was for 4.45pm, a quite hostile attitude and given a table we have sat at before where everyone walks past repeatedly., so we politely refused and were directed to a table in the bar facing the wall (felt like the naughty table) there were plenty of tables laid up and free when we got there and when we left. We eventually got the drinks we ordered plus the water. I ordered the buttermilk chicken starter, my husband ordered garlic prawns which were smothered in tinned tomatoes, however the prawns still had their shells on, making them almost impossible to eat. The waiter who took his plate acknowledged there was a problem with the prawns. We had both ordered the rib of beef roast, however when the meals arrived I got the roast but my husband got a rib eye steak with chips! He didn't send it back as this would have meant me eating alone. However no-one came near us to ask if our meals were ok, my husband's steak was undercooked and very fatty, difficult to eat, my roast beef was overcooked. No-one approached us for dessert or coffees so We paid our bill at the bar and left. Not a good experience from start to finish. We have been customers for over 20 years, on today's offering we will not be back anytime soon. Comments please

There is a very good menu currently here and also ‘pie nights’ ‘fish nights’ and ‘steak nights’. We tried the latter. A beautifully cooked steak was served with sides and a sauce, plus a glass of wine or pint of lager for around £19. Really good value. Also good choices of desserts which were delicious. The place was buzzing, as far as I could see every table was reserved . The server was really good, although she was very busy we were not ignored. A very nice evening.

Fabulous pub with great food. Set menu such good value for money, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Will deffo return

Awesome food in a lovely restaurant. Will be coming back again!

It's just changed hands...staff were pleasant but I'm afraid the food was not up to the high standards as before..the lack of customers was noticeable, it used to be packed
